The current process in Revit for Toposolid Phasing is to use the Graded Region tool. This tool basically demolishes the existing Toposolid and all attributed Sub-Divisions and Excavations. Then, it creates a new Toposolid in the new phase. This workflow is the same as the old Topography. This workflow has allot of downsides. First of all, this is not what happens in reality. We don't demolish an entire site to then build a new one. Parts of a site get demolished or excavated. Others stay the same. With the current workflow it is not clear what area gets changed, what Sub-Division gets demolished etc. It's basically impossible to get correct plans without having to add many View Filters or God forbid: Filled Regions.

 

My proposed workflow is to remove the Graded Region tool and have Phasing Parameters for all Toposolid sub-elements. This includes: Points, Split Lines and Sub-Divisions. Excavations should recognize the correct Phase (like Windows and Doors do with Walls). In this manner we would have one existing Toposolid that gets changed in the new phase. Some parts can remain the same, others get edited. Some Sub-Divisions remain the same, others get demolished. I know this means a big overhaul and would add a certain complexity, but this is how it works in real-life and thus, how it should work in Revit.
